2017 Jeep® Grand Cherokee Earns Top Safety Honor

The Jeep® brand is excited to announce that the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4×4 has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration – the highest rating you can earn from the organization. This is the fourth year in a row that this vehicle has earned this top safety rating. Keep reading for more information!

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4×4 also earned five stars in frontal collision with another vehicle, side impact with another vehicle, and side impact with a pole crash tests.

This vehicle has over 70 available safety and security features such as advanced multistage, driver and front-passenger air bags, advanced side-curtain air bags, advanced supplemental front-seat side air bags, and a driver-side inflatable knee bolster. However, one of the most highly praised safety features on this vehicle is the Automatic Emergency Braking system, which is called Full-speed Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation. This system uses both camera and radar to detect an object. Once detected the system will alert the driver with visual and audio cues, then automatically apply the brakes if needed.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration isn’t the only organization to recognize the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4×4 for its top safety features. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also recently awarded this vehicle with a top rating of “good” on moderate-overlap front-impact, side-impact, roof strength and head restraint/seats (whiplash protection) tests.
